Chapter Six: You know what's the most beautiful thing out here?

Ed pulled back and looked around, making sure no one was watching them. Envy chuckled softly as Ed turned back to him, his face bright red with embarrassment. Before Ed could say anything, though, Envy caught his lips in another soft kiss. Ed hesitated for a moment, and then kissed Envy back. His arms wrapped around the longhaired teen's neck, pulling him close.

After about a minute, Ed pulled back and let go of Envy. He was so embarrassed that he didn't even look up at Envy. "Hey, you're not a bad kisser" Envy purred, wrapping his arms around Ed's waist. A soft blush crept over Ed's face and he glanced down at Envy, who was cuddling against his chest.

"Envy…What…what if somebody sees us?" Ed whispered, growing nervous. All he got was a soft laugh in return.

When the movie ended, Envy let go of Ed, saving the boy from embarrassment. "Chibi, you were such a little chicken." Envy snickered as he stepped out of the theater. The sun was getting low in the sky, casting gold light on the clouds.

"Oh shit! I forgot to tell Al I was going to a movie! He's going to kill me…"

As soon as Ed opened his front door, a pan went flying at him. He ducked, then cringed as the pan hit Envy in the face. "Oops…"

Envy rubbed his nose, making sure that it wasn't bloody. This time, Envy ducked just before a large pot went sailing over his head. "Geez, chibi. Your brother is violent."

"Nii-san! Where have you been! I've been worried sick! I thought maybe you were in an accident or something!" Al took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Ed stood up and gave his brother a hug before Al decided to murder him.

"Sorry bro…I went to see a movie with my friend…Oh. Al, this is Envy. I went to the movie with him." Ed pointed at Envy.

Al stared, his mouth dropping. Envy was decked out in clunky, combat boots, black pants with numerous chains and zippers, a tight black shirt under a tight black jacket. To Al, it seemed as though zillions of rings covered Envy's fingers. But that wasn't what shocked him the most. Envy had a lip ring and about half a dozen piercings on each ear.

His eyes were violet! Violet! No real human has eyes like that!

Al was snapped back to reality by Ed waving a hand in his face. "Gosh Al, staring is rude." Al blushed and muttered a soft "Sorry…"

Envy blinked, a bit confused, and then started to laugh. "Edo, your whole family is strange. Pleased to meet you." Envy held out a hand to Al, who, hesitantly, shook it.

Ed chuckled softly. "Calm down, Al. He doesn't bite."

"Hard." Envy added with a smirk. This earned him a soft punch in the shoulder. "Well, I should be off. I just wanted to make sure Ed wasn't going to get murdered by his little brother." On his way out the door, Envy ruffled Ed's hair, then left, shutting the front door behind him.

Ed watched him go, then shivered as he felt an evil aura behind him…

"Edward….I TOLD YOU TO ALWAYS CALL ME BEFORE YOU GO SOMEWHERE!" Al yelled, causing Ed to cringe. "I've been so worried about you! And…that guy you're hanging out with is really creepy, Ed! I mean, he wears make-up!"

"It's just eyeliner, Al…" Ed replied, keeping his voice low.

"So? I don't want you to hang out with him. He seemed like he…wasn't all there."

Ed's fists clenched and he shouted, "I'll hang out with him if I want too! You're not Mom!" He froze.

Al's eyes watered and he stepped back.

"Shit…Al, I'm really sorry…I didn't mean it…"

"Save it." Al turned on his heel and ran to his room, slamming the door.

Ed sighed and walked into the kitchen, where dinner sat cold on the table. He hadn't meant to say that…He just got so mad at Al…But Al was trying his best to keep the house running and to have food on the table. Every month since Mom's death, they'd get social security. But it didn't pay for everything. That's where their good for nothing father's child support money came in. Ed never wanted to accept it but they needed it…

The phone rang, shocking Ed out of his thoughts. He reached behind him and held the phone against his ear. "Hello?"

"Chibi? Good, this is the right number. Hey, is everything okay? Was your brother mad?"

At Envy's concerned voice, a smile crept over Ed's lips. "Yeah…He was pissed. We got in a fight but he'll be okay. How'd you get my number anyway?"

"I have my ways." Envy laughed and Ed rolled his eyes.

"Weirdo. Well, I should go check on Al. He seemed pretty upset…"

"All right. See you at school." Envy hung up and Ed sighed, putting the receiver back in its cradle.

Getting up, Ed was about to go to Al's room when the phone rang once again. Sighing, Ed picked it up. "Hello?"

"Edward? My, you sound so grown up."

Ed froze and his eyes narrowed. "Why the hell are you calling?"

"Because I wanted to see how my sons were doing, that's why." The voice on the other end sighed. "You still hate me, don't you?"

"Duh! You kinda abandoned us! Stop calling here! I don't want to talk to you!" Ed slammed down the phone, cutting off the protests of his father. He sat down and frowned. He had no right to call here…That bastard had no right…

A tear slipped down Ed's cheek and he wiped it away angrily. He didn't even move as he heard Al enter the kitchen. "Ed…It was Dad, wasn't it?" Al sighed and gave Ed a hug.

"Look, Dad must have had a reason for leaving…"

"Al, I don't care what his reason was…It was unfair…It made Mom so sad…"

Later that night, after his homework was done, Ed lay awake in bed, trying not to think of his father. Turning to his dresser, Ed picked up the picture of him, Al and Mom…

"Mom, I miss you…"

The next day went by quickly. He didn't see Envy in any of his classes, which confused Ed. On his way to his car, he saw Envy standing next to it.

"Hey chibi, want to hang out?"

"Sorry…I have to go to work."

"Well, after work?"

Ed looked over at Envy, pausing after he opened his door. "Sure. I don't see why not. I work at Monkey Business. Be there by five." Ed got in his car, still irked over his father calling.

Envy was confused but he decided to let Ed go on to work. He'd have to ask Ed why he was so upset…

Envy was waiting outside the movie store at precisely five o' clock. When Ed came out of the store, Envy grinned. "Hey Edo. You looked upset earlier so I brought you something to cheer you up. But not here. Let's go to my neighborhood, okay?"

Ed raised an eyebrow. "Alright. Get in and show me the way."

Once they pulled to a stop at the curb outside Envy's apartment building, Envy got out. Instead of going up the steps, he walked past the building. "C'mon Edo."

Ed followed quietly, looking around the run down neighborhood. His house seemed like a mansion compared to some of the buildings here. Envy led him to an abandoned park and they had to slip through a hole in the high, chain link fence. Envy kept walking until he came to a fountain. He then sat down on the edge of it.

Taking a seat next to Envy, Ed watched curiously as Envy pulled cigarettes out of his pocket. He handed one to Ed. "It's a joint. I rolled it myself." Envy grinned, as though this were something to be proud of.

"Marijuana? " Ed looked down that the joint in his hands, wondering why he was doing this.

"Yeah. It'll make you feel better, Edo. You seemed really…sad." Searching through his pockets, Envy avoided Ed's gaze.

"Yeah…But that's just my own problem…nothing important…" Ed sighed as Envy pulled out a lighter. "Give me that." Lighting the joint, Ed stuck it in his mouth. Sucking on it, Ed coughed bit from the smoke but after a while, he got the hang of it. Once he finished the first one, he flung the butt into the fountain. Envy offered him another one, which he gladly took.

"So, what was bugging you, chibi? If you don't mind my asking…"

"I don't mind. It…it was my dad. He called last night. The nerve of that guy…abandoning us…I hate him." Ed frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry to hear that…My dad did the same thing…" Envy sighed and wrapped an arm around Ed's shoulder. "Now tell me. Doesn't the world seem so much more beautiful now?"

Ed looked around. Envy was right. Colors seemed brighter, the air tasted cleaner, and even the sounds of daily life seemed beautiful. Ed smiled and looked over at Envy. "Yeah…It's amazing…These things really show the real beauty in life…"

"Mhm. You know what's the most beautiful thing out here?" Envy asked, taking another drag.

"No. What is it?" Ed asked, curiously looking around.

"You." Envy bent down and kissed Ed softly, flicking his joint into the fountain. Ed did the same, then wrapped his arms around Envy's thin body. Envy smiled and pulled Ed close to himself, sliding his tongue over the boy's soft lips.

Ed gasped and Envy took advantage of this, slipping his tongue into Ed's mouth. He began to gently explore, smiling to himself as he felt Ed relax. After a minute, Envy pulled back for air, smiling down at Ed, who was blushing a bright red.

"Chibi, what's with you? I thought for sure you didn't go that way." Envy tilted his head, smirking. Ed blushed brighter and looked into the fountain. His reflection sparkled and shimmered but he could still see how red he was.

"Don't tell Al, okay? I…I wanna come out to him when I'm ready…"

Envy blinked and shook his head. "I wouldn't tell him. Besides, he doesn't seem to like me much…" With a smile, Envy gently flicked Ed's forehead. "Cheer up, kid. It's not the end of the world. And I'm sure your brother will understand when you tell him."

Ed rubbed his forehead and frowned. "He's been through a lot…We both have…I don't want to get him freaked out…I mean, finding out that I'm…It might be too big of a shock…"

"It's not the end of the world, chibi. It's not like your life is going to end just because you're gay. I mean, I'm still alive and kicking." Envy grinned and pulled Ed into a hug. "Don't sweat it, kid. It'll be okay. Besides, if he gets mad, I'll talk to him. I'll take care of you. 'Cause you're so damn cute."

Envy snickered as Ed's face turned red once more. This kid was so easy to embarrass. Ruffling Ed's hair, Envy leaned down to steal a quick kiss from Ed. "C'mon. Let's get you home before your brother decides to send out a search party."

Envy stood up and held out a hand to help Ed up. Ed took it and Envy pulled him up. But Envy wasn't expecting Ed to keep holding onto his hand. The younger boy laced his fingers through Envy's, smiling up at the wild haired teen. "Yeah. Let's go."

Bwahahaha! That's where I'm going to end this chapter. It took a while to get out because I had writer's block. Sorry! R&R please! I'll try and get chapter seven out faster.
